I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348: Extreme tension among the three parties
Lu Xun was able to sense this keenly, better than most generals.

The battle situation on the northern front did not give Lu Xun time to besiege Jiangling. If he wanted to capture Jiangling, he could only attack by force.

The tactics adopted by Li Heng were fast!
It was too fast for Wei Jun to react and smashed Sima Division's logistics.

It was so fast that Sima Yi had to call Guo Huai over to save the situation.

It was so fast that Wu Jun had no time to lay siege to the city.

Only quickly can the entire situation be revitalized.

If you take a slow step, you will be slow every step, and if you are slow every step, you will be dead!

At night, Wu Jun began to build more heavy artillery overnight.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of July, almost all Wu troops took action.

Fifty thousand troops surrounded the three walls of Jiangling City.

A steady stream of stones was transported to the front line and smashed on the city head, making a huge vibration.

What are the consequences of this?
When the people of the major families learned that the Han army was coming, they either surrendered and took the initiative to take out the food, or they ran away quickly.

It was also at this time that Li Heng began a comprehensive cleaning operation in Yingchuan County.

Lu Xun mobilized almost all the troops that could be mobilized.

This kind of movement also brought great psychological pressure to the Han troops defending the city.

When he first entered Yingchuan in May, he went directly to Xuchang and carried out a beheading operation in Xuchang, without affecting other counties.

They placed their heavy artillery in front of the city and began to intensively bombard the east and west walls.

He divided his troops into several branches and began to carry out large-scale forced distribution of food in various counties.

That adds up to at least 150,000 to 60,000.

It took four days to get from Chenjun to Xuchang, which meant that the enemy arrived at Yingchuan in ten days.

Until late in the evening, the east and west walls collapsed.

When food is concentrated, it is easy to find.

Nanyang County was almost half emptied by Li Heng before, and Yingchuan County was now messed up by Li Heng.

By then Guo Huai's tribe had arrived at Yingchuan, Sima Zhao's tribe had also arrived at Yingchuan, and the main force of the Wei army was still in Nanyang to the west of Yingchuan.

How long can an army of 150,000 to 60,000 people stay here?

According to time calculation, it would take half a month for the main force of Guo Huai and Sima Zhao to travel south from the Yellow River.

In the next seven days, the Han army only did one thing: take out the food of the big families in each county and distribute it.

Li Heng had only one purpose: to break up the grain.

Li Heng has seven days.

At this time, Wu Jun did not attack, but continued to persuade them to surrender.

Returning this time, Yanling, Xinji, Yingyin, Fanchang, Yingyang, Xiangcheng, Kunyang, and Dingling were all within his attack range.

But what happens after the food is dispersed?

Even if Sima Zhao forcibly sent people to take it back, the process would probably not be completed in more than a month.

And he will also face a problem: How to determine whether the food was distributed by the Han army?
Is the name of the head of a certain big family written on those grains?

Therefore, Li Heng is now hitting the snake seven inches.

If these sticks are used, not to mention Guo Huai and Sima Zhao who came over will be stunned on the spot, Sima Shi will also be stunned in Nanyang.

Besides, Guo Huai didn't need to feel that Yingchuan was confused, he was quite confused now.

Guo Huai disembarked at Baimajin on the Yellow River, and the main force of 50,000 troops was stationed in Dongjun on the first day.

The next day we started heading south quickly.

When Guo Huai arrived at Chen Liuguo, he was confused when he saw Chen Liuguo's situation.

All the counties in Chenliu Kingdom were as happy as if they were mourning their heirs.

For example, when the people in Fengqiu were full, they went to Wuchao Ze to swim and enjoyed themselves a lot.

In the past, people in Fengqiu were still planting vegetables in the fields. How can I be in the mood to go swimming?

But Guo Huai clearly saw that all the unruly people were happy and carefree.

This is wrong!

Why are these unscrupulous people so lazy?

Diligent!

do you know!
Life must be hardworking!
keep it up!
Hard work leads to a good life!
Not only Fengqiu, Guo Huai went all the way south. When he arrived at Junyi, he found that there were more people swimming in the Bin water in Junyi.

The people were humming while swimming.

Liu Jin, who joined the army of Guo Huai, said this: If you are so happy, are you still a common people!

If the common people have enough to eat and drink and stop working, what do the nobles do for a living?

Guo Huai immediately wrote a memorial and reported everything he saw and heard to Luoyang, hoping that the court could come up with good methods to restore order in the area.

If this continues, trouble will occur.

When Guo Huai arrived at Chenliu, he received information from the scouts sent to Yingchuan. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up when he learned that the Han army was releasing grain in Yingchuan.

Liu Jin said again: "This Li Jian! If you want to fight a war, you can even burn the food. How can you give food to the people? He doesn't know that once the people have this time, there will be another time? In the future, their appetite will be different. If it happens once, it will turn the world upside down!"

At this time, Sima Zhao was in Liang State, and he also received news from Yingchuan.

Sima Zhao said personally: "I never expected that Li Jian would be so vicious!"

Two groups of Wei troops began to advance toward Yingchuan County in a mighty manner.

On the ninth day of July, at noon, Jiangling.

Three groups of Wu armies began to attack Jiangling City from the east, west, and south.

The armored elite of the Wu army were at the front. They poured in like a torrent and began to fight to the death with the Han army that had been waiting there.

The Han army's crossbow arrows came like rain.

One group of Wu troops came forward after another, and many Wu troops fell into the ditch.

The Wu army had to stop the attack again, and after preparing ladders, they began to forcefully cross the trench.

The two sides went from confrontation to hand-to-hand combat, fighting each other.

The whole Jiangling has turned into a Shura field, people are dying every moment, and the corpses are piling up more and more.

In the evening, Wu Jun was still forced to retreat.

On the tenth day of July, under the mobilization of Lu Xun, the Wu army continued to attack without slowing down at all.

After both sides fought with all their strength, Wu Jun was repulsed again.

Everyone in the Wu army felt Jiangling City's stubborn will to resist.

In just a few days, Wu Jun had killed seven to eight thousand people.

But Lu Xun obviously had no intention of stopping. He would personally inspect the barracks every day and chat with officers and soldiers.

And sometimes he would have meals with the soldiers, ask them about their families, and tell the soldiers about his previous setbacks in a very friendly manner.

Lu Xun is a very contagious person. Although he is in his fifties, he looks elegant, has a gentle tone, speaks neither fast nor slow, and behaves calmly.

When talking and laughing, it always gives people a very comfortable feeling.

But once he mentioned continuing to fight, it gave people a sense of strength.

Under his instigation, Wu Jun maintained a high will to fight.

Early in the morning on July 11th, the Wu army continued to attack the city.

At this time, the Han army's defense also felt great pressure.

After all, the Han army was insufficient in numbers. If they had not occupied a favorable position, I am afraid that the city would have been recaptured by Lu Xun.

If you want the Wu army to be defeated quickly, unless Sun Quan personally takes command.
